The Willys Jeepster was produced from 1948-1950 as a stylish and versatile "sport phaeton" that bridged the rigged Willys Jeep and a passenger car. Designed by famed industrial designer Brooks Stevens, the Jeepster was one of the last true phaetons built in America.
Production numbers:
1948: Approximately 10,326 units built
Wheelbase: 104 inches
Weight: Approximately 2700 pounds
Seating: Up to 5 passengers
Sid curtains instead of roll-up windows, convertible top, and unique classic jeep front grille styling
The 1948 Jeepster was marketed as the perfect family convertible: rugged enough for the outdoors, yet refinded for in-town cruising. Today, properly restored examples like this are highly collectible.
Why This Jeepster?
This is not just a restored Jeepster- its a "piece of family history", meticulously cared for and restored to a standard that honors its originality while giving it a fresh, show-quality finish.

Perfect for collectors, weekend drivers, or anyone who appreciates the post-war American automotive spirit, this Wimbledon White Jeepster is ready for shows, parades or relaxed top-down cruising.
